@fesshole regardless of the direction of travel, you’ve gone down in my estimation.

Hello Fedi friends!

A lot of folks asked: how can we share your video on Big Tech platforms to spread the word about the #Fediverse?

Well, we got you covered: @patel.riyen and @samaaberg created short clips (in portrait & landscape mode) optimized for social media sharing.

Link on this landing page:

I hope you can get your friends & family curious about the Fediverse 🤗

@futurebird
I fear that progressive mayors try, and quickly learn that the police will riot, doom their mayoralties, and possibly also kill their constituents if they properly rein them in, so they develop a "balanced" approach that refrains from actually addressing the root problem that some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses.

Will 🇯🇵 boosted:

That, in the end, is what empathy is, and what non-violence depends on: our ability to find the "like-me" in others, even tho it might not be on the surface.

I could tell you that it's easy. I lie all the time, frankly, but not on quite this grand a scale.

No. It is not easy. It is hard as fuck. For me, it is both the hardest possible thing to do and the most important possible thing to do.

I fail all the time at it.

I'm betting that's just one more way we're more alike than different. :)

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him calmly disclosing he had a legal & registered firearm.

Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

This injustice is what systemic white supremacy enables.

Footbridge over the Tancheon at dusk, Korea, May

#photography #architecture #nature #naturePhotography

A black and white image of a concrete footbridge over a stream. The dusk light reflects on the water in such a way as to make a perfect triangle on the bridge column with the light, shadow, and reflection of the caustics on the water's surface

"The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world."

@djwtwo wow! Cool reflection.

SuperDuper update:

We've completed initial compatibility testing, and we can successfully generate a bootable backup under Tahoe.

We have some UI issues to work through (weird layout problems and exceptions in normal, system-generated alert panels, yay), but hope to have a Tahoe-compatible beta shortly.

#SuperDuper #macOS

@exchgr it’s a silly conefusion.

@TwoClownsEating yup. We cancelled some classes and will do others via Zoom. Good to have that option.

Got my first Cuckoo photo on an after work walk today. Thought it was a Kestrel, but no a lovely Cuckoo!

This image captures a bird in mid-flight against a clear blue sky. The bird has a grey body with striking black and white striped patterns on its wings and body. Its yellow eye and pointed beak add to its distinct features

Common Spotted Orchid (I think)

#bloomscrolling #wildflowers #orchid #wildlife

This is a close-up of an orchid with delicate, densely arranged blossoms. The petals are predominantly white, adorned with intricate purple markings, creating a striking contrast. The tall, cylindrical shape of the flower adds to its elegance, standing out against the soft, blurred green background

Will 🇯🇵 boosted:

It's been a great here on Mastodon. People here seem to love wildlife and birds.

Q: What is one of your favourite birds and why? (is it the beauty of its colours and shape, maybe it's their song or maybe you've noticed a particular bird's personality).

Anyway, let me know by replying (feel free to include/not include a photo).

EDIT: .
Having being doing this now for a few years, I now have a true fave! The Northern Gannet.
